Works Well Does exactly what it says and I haven't had any issues. The interface is easy to follow and there not a lot of extra stuff to do. The app gives you all the shortcuts avaliable for an app. Very nice for quick access to text popups for creating text! Also you can try the popup before you create it. And it's available the 'create shortcut' menu on your launcher. No complaints. Good job!

Amazing application Helps the custom rom users who sometimes don't have the sim toolkit application it helps them create one quick shortcut on the desktop. This is just but one in so many features bundled up with this application. Thank you, and let us prepare the way for the LORD JESUS in repentance, Holiness and Righteousness, with the daily observance of preparing to enter the Kingdom of GOD JEHOVAH. 1thess 4:16-20 1cor 15:50-52.

Samsung Galaxy S4 KitKat Finally I found an app that can rename the home screen icon labels, AND remembers them on reboot. It may take a few tries to find the right link to make the shortcut to. If choosing the app name didn't work, use the other list and expand the app's links. Look for one that seems most likely - usually ending with "activity". Does not work on all apps that are on the external SD card. On reboot, some of the shortcuts for them disappeared completely. Otherwise a great app - especially for free!

Excellent It's very usefully to go fast wherever you want without opening an app, search and select desired point; just create the shortcut. Can select a desired icon from an external icon pack (not incuded). I like to see a light option for interface too. Only one problem, icons are enlarged and croped and that change their aspect.

Blocking mode is back! I needed to be able to customize which calls would come through like the old Blocking Mode allowed. The new "Do not disturb" mode only allowed you to choose all or favorites. I need to be able to hand select a few people and that sometimes changes. This app allowed me to find the built in blocking mode and use it! Thank you.

Thank you so much! It turns out all those guys in all those geeky forums don't always have the answer. I just wanted to remove the text from underneath all my icons on my home screens. I didn't want to have to root. I did not want to install a third party launcher. In this app, I was able to go to applications, create a shortcut, and in the name field it does require at least 1 character. It turns out that the space bar is a character. You have to do each app icon one by one, but that's fine with me it didn't take very long.

Absolute necessity--no question I have developed a bit of skepticism in deeming any newfound app/utility/etc.--whether found on Play market or no--is a merited use of my own time/energy/ bandwidth. I am rather picky & having been raised by nice, caring parents to have polite regard for others & likewise I am often even more picky in recommendations for others. This app is one of VERY few which I predict to be useful to most anyone in one or more ways for their unique purposes.

Superb! It helped me find and create a shortcut to the screen knock setting which I didn't have access to because I'm keeping my lock screen turned off. So it was great being able to find it through this app and then set my own shortcut to it with my own icon picture and name! So when I go somewhere, I can instantly turn off the knock feature now so my screen doesn't get turned on accidentally.

MY SHORTCUT NO LONGER WORKS WITH MARSHMALLOW Have a Samsung Galaxy S5 that updated to android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and used this to make a shortcut for call blocking. Since the update, the shortcut no longer works. CONTACTED DEVELOPER WITH NO REPLY. I HAVE SINCE WENT TO A DIFFERENT APP THAT WORKS FLAWLESSLY!!!

Works. I tried other methods that didn't. Awesome Clock icon disappeared after removing sense and/ or blink feed. This app allows you to create a shortcut on your home page for any Android service! what a hero! Works on s6 well. I wanted a shortcut to battery usage in settings And it works like a charm! Time to donate!

Does what it says At&t hides some programs on my HTC One M8, like Car Mode. This digs them out very easily. Only complaint is that the shortcuts occasionally disappear. Though that may be my phone, or at&t's settings taking over. Not a big deal since it's so easy to recreate the shortcut. All in all, great app

so many great things a great tool! i love that i can choose from my icon themes. my only problem is that I want a shortcut to chompSMS but the activities.MainActivity seems to do the same thing as activities.QuickCompose i've tried the MainActivity in other places and it works fine but not in this app for some reason. Edit: fixed my issues! 5 stars! Great app!

This app leads by example. No hiccups \works well Thank you dev for making app free with no unnecessary permissions and most importantly no ads. Excellent work😊 The abilty to donate 1$ would be well deserved. I wish 1 thing tho that i could choose where to place new shortcuts like in the app drawer for example. Some instructions would help newcomers.

Good, could use some work Works perfectly for creating shortcuts to activities like opening the battery usage screen, opening the dictionary widget, etc. Doesn't work when the activity requires an input argument. For example, I tried to create my own direct dial shortcut, and there was no option to include the contact that the shortcut should dial. Hence, the shortcut crashed.

Great app! Thank you for the great app! Just one question. I have HTC M8 and normally all icons have shadows underneath them on home screen. But for some reason shortcuts don't. Any idea how to fix this shadow bug? I did try the "clear cache" thing...

Genius! Why isn't this an app included with all the bloated extras they force on our phones. Downloaded in 5 seconds. Easy to follow setup and search. Found the path I wanted. Named it what I wanted (asks you to do this). Picked icon I wanted (asks you to do this). Now I have a silly looking icon I call cache cleaner that takes me a step away from cleaning my entire phones cache. This is awesome!!!! Thanks for this app!! You rocked it!

90% awesome Fantastic app for making customized shortcuts! I don't like text on my home screens, so I rely on this app to scrub app names. Unfortunately, it doesn't find the standard start up 'activity' for all apps (Google authenticator and Wikipedia beta for example). Also, you can't access the system icon list by default (don't actually know if this is possible without preload, but would be a nice touch). Overall, I've been thrilled with this app's capabilities and whole heartedly recommend it.

Straight to the point! I love apps like this that really do what they are supposed to and do it well! The ability to preview the shortcut before creating it shows the developer carefully thought about the app's interface – many developers forget about simple but yet useful things like that. About the shortcuts, I find them especially useful to skip useless splash screens that are found in some apps – banking apps in particular.

Works on Samsung TouchWiz I linked a shortcut to the app manager in about 10 seconds, so it's very easy to use. Just make sure your linked activity actually says "activity" at the end of the file name (fairly obvious advice).

Should be default on TouchWiz Launchers. I don't know why Samsung doesn't include a shortcut option for individual settings. I like to keep my battery stats as a shortcut on my main homescreen, but unless I used a different launcher there was no way to do it. This app makes it possible to put that shortcut where I want it on TW. Awesome.

Good access to settings I have only just started using this app, but it was easy to create a shortcut to apps. I use this a lot to kill apps and to uninstall apps that I try out. It's great to have a shortcut to get there without having to go through the navigation tree.

Running Services Android 6 Shortcut just takes you to all apps and not running services. As you are aware we currently have to go through Dev options to access running services as if Google want to hide it. Please try to make actual running services a shortcut possibility, thank you.

KnockON Have you ever been frustrated with your phone turning on in your pocket? Do you have an lg? Can you not find out how to turn it off? Then this is the app for you! Simply download it type knock on in the shortcut creator and when it suggests a shortcut called settings make it and you can disable the double tap on feature!

Radically Changed the Way I Use Android. Other shortcut applications do not have a "Try it" Button to see if it works first. It safely lets you explore the activities in your apps. I have shortcuts for everything. I use them in launcher programs and interface programs, it must save me hours. There's a learning curve, but if you are particular about your phone set up, DO THIS APP. I supercharge it with "Folder Organizer". One problem - you give a favorite a name, but the new name doesn't stick in the favorites list. Kudos!

Not for me Was looking for an app that would let me for instance take me to the place where I can turn on/off my data option instead of going to settings, data usage, data settings etc. That's just one example. Overall looks like a good app for everything else.

Works Works as described with all the features you need or expect. Don't say this very often about an app but, it needs no improvement. Thats saying a lot from me. I'm very picky and pessimistic about my apps.

Still the best Been using this for a long time and still can't find another shortcut maker that can dig up all the hidden app activities etc. this can. Just be careful most of those activities are hidden for a good reason and might cause instabilities launched away from the original app's launch.

Great little app Does what it says. Helps with getting to stock android apps hidden by stupid oems or replaced by their half-baked options. Also good to create shortcuts for an often used setting, so you don't have to dig through the settings every time.

Needs one last thing! I'm too lazy to get a launcher, after all I want my icons pixel perfect! I create them on my own paint app, but the problem is they don't have any transparency! Let the app support STAMP or PNG files that have transparency! @-@

Very useful but not quite what I am after Very useful for changing app icons, if a bit of a learning curve. Alas I don't seem to be able to change a widget, although it appears in the list, perhaps I need to play around more.

Fantastic This helped me a lot on my g4. The knock on screen was driving me nuts and calling 911 while i carried my phone so i had to get it turned off. This app made it easy to find! Highly recommend.

Huge return for minimal effort invested Some android system utilities are more trouble than they are worth. QuickShortcutMaker is NOT one of those! I have spent about 2 minutes so far configuring it and now can get to the Call Reject menu Verizon hides on my LG G4. I look forward to finding more useful shortcuts.

Very Good I needed to launch an activity with no app drawer icon, but when I used a different app, it would crash. This app is perfect. The only issue is that when I try to change icons for phone or messaging, unread counts don't work.

Loved it Amazing that the app lets you create a shortcut for almost everything that may which is hidden or something. I couldn't find my Dolby audio on my leEco le 2.. but using this app, I could easily create a shortcut.. great experience :)

Truly a great app! This app is one of my absolute favorites, and I recommend it to EVERYONE! Along with Fast Reboot, Zooper Widget and Tasker you can make your phone do ANYTHING you want. Zero complaints!

Got my free gear vr games with this app. Thank goodness for this app. I got my s7 and my gear vr showed up after I left for work out of state. There was no way of making it hone before the download time expired, and I was able to trick my device to think that the gear vr was attached by activating the app via the try function. Thanks a billion.

Does What Its Supposed To Why fish around and fumble for hidden settings when you can create a shortcut. I use this for tethering, Bluetooth, and Do Not Disturb. Only thing preventing 5 stars is the "search" function does not work.
